@Gerd, @darkeye I have forked and built the Day Scope now using the original launchpad version.
A click package which works for myself can be found with the changed code on my personal Github repo https://github.com/mharrend/ubuntu-touch-day-scope.

Unfortunately, the moon phase indication is not working any longer since an external API was used for this functionality which requires a fee-based license.

@darkeye Feel free to fork my repository to the official UBPorts repository.
Maybe, we could use another API provider for the moon phase like http://www.farmsense.net/api/astro-widgets/ or we should remove the moon phase indication.

Hi,
since a young developer provided a Lineage OS 13.0 version for BQ Aquarius E4.5 maybe one could use this as a base to get a newer kernel?
I am not exactly sure what kernel version and what else is needed to get 16.04 working on Krillin but any insight in the requirements for porting to 16.04 would be heartily appreciated.

Here is the link to the Lineage OS porting guide:
http://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums/topic/lineage-os-13-aquaris-e4-5-krillin-marshmallow-rom/
Here are the links to the Github repository of the developer:
https://github.com/Pablito2020/android_kernel_bq_krillin
https://github.com/Pablito2020/android_device_bq_krillin

I am currently switching my Krillin from the Canonical to the UBPorts image, but if it helps I can also try out the LineageOS version.

I have a Seat Ibiza with a Garmin navigation system: https://seat.garmin.com/seat/site/productOverview
Pairing works fine and starting a call works fine, but only in roughly 1 out of 10 tries the sound is working. Meaning the call is made, but caller and callee can neither hear each other.
If the voice is working, the phone hangs after the call ends and has to be rebooted, before I can make a new call via BT.

Music streaming via bluetooth is always working fine.

@polylux I believe you have to install the calendar application first, before the option becomes available. Afterwards I could set it up via the owncloud account option.

@cherrie Originally, I setup up the caldav and carddav sync using the following recipe:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/591866/how-can-contacts-and-calendars-be-synchronised/600629#600629

But I believe that later on I just used the Caldav plugin which is available under System Settings-> Accounts.
Hopefully, this helps.

Can you tell me, what seems to be not working?

Caldav is working fine for me on BQ 4.5 after migrating from Ubuntu Touch to UBPorts OTA-1.
Maybe, it helps, I had setup Caldav already on Ubuntu Touch and after the migration to UBPorts just copied back my old config folders.

@sverzegnassi The new UX default Scope / screen mockup looks very nice.
Nonetheless, even though that the Scopes idea will be dumped, I would expect that we would like to show at least same information as before on the UX default screen. Meaning we will keep the function code of the Scopes and will throw away the UX parts.
So, when would you expect to get the new UX default screen running? How would we migrate from the Scopes to the new screen causing as less as possible loss of functionality (since at least IMHO some of the functionality of the scopes is really helpful)?

@Flohack Sorry, for the late reply. I have never provided something for the OpenStore but I will look into it and will try to publish the package also there.

The submission of the click package to the OpenStore needs a manual review, so I contacted the OpenStore managers and hopefully, the package will be available soon. I will post a message here then.

BTW Does anybody knows which scopes are already migrated to UBPorts / openStore?
When I was switching to UBPorts, the most scopes I had to install from the old Ubuntu store and if I remember correctly, this store will be closed at some point of time, so we would loose the possibility to install scopes.

Is there some work ongoing to port some scopes to UBPorts? I would be willing to help with this task.

Looking on the following page it seems that the Todays scope uses the following scopes in the same order if installed:

Day scope (now forked by myself)
Weather channel scope (part of the Ubuntu REST scopes)
Holidays scope ( relies on fee-based web api, maybe can be rewritten using Python holidays module, part of Canonical scopes)
Event scope ( has its own repo)
Tasks scope ( part of the task app)
Contacts scope (not sure, where code is, maybe aggregation of Calls and message scope?)
Fitbit scope (low on my own priority list)
News scope (aggregator scope, part of Canonical scopes)
Twitter scope (part of Canonical scopes)

So it seems IMHO necessary to port some of the Canonical scopes and Ubuntu REST scopes together with the Event Scope at least to UBPorts to keep the basic scope functionality.

Does it make sense to fork the corresponding launchpad repositories to the UBPort project (All code seems to be using GNU GPLv3)?
